Humanities

What are the advantages and disadvantages of a civilization remaining isolated and maintaining their way of life without outside influence? An example is Egypt in the early kingdom period, when no outside cultural influence existed and the Nile River was used as a source for transportation and agriculture.

“Out of sight, out of mind”; “Even a fool learn something once it hits him”, quotes from the first known poet, Homer. Greek influence is present throughout the western world. Identify some ways you recognize Greek culture in your daily life. i.e. food, art, etc.

Aim for no fewer than three paragraphs (5-7 sentences each). As always, check for grammar before you post your answer to the discussion thread. Write in an essay format rather than a question and answer format. Use complete sentences and most importantly elaborate. Make sure you cite your reference material using APA guidelines.

Word count requirement: a minimum of 250 words (main post) and two scholarly sources.
